Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)
Technology that works for you
As e-commerce demands continues to grow, retailers must choose how best to respond to consumer expectations for accurate, on-time delivery. The goal is to scale operations for future growth within existing facility layouts while optimizing labor resources. To meet this goal, retailers must look to intelligent automated solutions such as AMRs to provide the flexible and scalable technology necessary to grow their operations.
AMRs are industrial robots that lift and transport materials within your facility. They reliably navigate throughout the workspace by reading QR codes on the facility floor, responding to changing traffic conditions and adapting accordingly. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) scanners mounted on the AMRs allow them to sense and avoid obstructions.
Case Study: Radial Europe
Radial Europe is a global third-party service provider and a member of Belgium’s bpostgroup. Its ambition to respond to every customer requirement to remain a leader. This led Radial to its selection of an innovative bin-to-picker AMR solution from Dematic.

What are the Dematic AMR models?
Point to Point Transport Pallets
Dematic Pallet Mover AMRs offer flexible transportation of pallets within a facility and make available space typically taken up by conveyors. These AMRs transport materials throughout your facility, safely navigating around people, equipment, and inventory.
Applications:
- Moving pallets between functional areas
- Line-side supply and delivery
- Small and large assembly platforms
Models
Micro-Fulfillment: The Dematic Micro-Fulfillment solution automates order fulfillment in a footprint that can fit within the backroom of a retail store or small warehouse, allowing business operations to be closer to the consumer and overcome the challenges associated with urbanization.
Conveyor: Conveyor is ideal for processing large quantities of inventory to fixed locations. Systems handle cartons, cases, totes, bags, and stuffed envelopes and can move to pallets, skids, gaylords, tubs, and wheeled carts.
AutoStore™: The AutoStore storage and fulfillment system, powered by Dematic, is a compact, scalable robotic storage and piece picking system that flexes with demand so that your supply chain is always ready.
Mixed-Case Fulfillment: The Dematic Mixed Case Fulfillment solution is a high-performance solution for operations that transform SKU pure pallets into aisle-ready mixed case pallets. The solution reduces transportation costs with optimally sized pallet loads and decreases the need for operational staff.
Pallet Storage: Dematic offers a wide range of storage solutions that help you organize and control inventory on pallets.
AGVs: Automated Guided Vehicles provide a modern, economical, and safe way for distribution and production operations to efficiently increase throughput using flexible automation instead of adding more labor, physical space, or bulky equipment.
